What is recorded here
Ballymacgehan is a vanished medieval church in Ballymagaughey, County Down. Its exact location has been lost, leaving behind only a map point and a name. The building may have stood for centuries before disappearing without a trace. What remains is the shape of the gap, a hole in the landscape where worship once happened.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH (site of): BALLYMACGEHAN (unlocated). Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
